Crispy Roasted Accordion Potatoes

Description: After tasting this, I’m never having potatoes any other way! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds small potatoes (Yukon Gold or baby red potatoes)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional but recommended)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Slice each potato lengthwise but not all the way through — make thin cuts to create an accordion effect.
3. In a bowl, mix olive oil, melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Brush the mixture generously over the potatoes, making sure it gets into the slices.
5. Place potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
6. Roast for 35–45 minutes, or until golden, crispy, and tender inside.
7. Brush with any remaining seasoned oil/butter and garnish with parsley.

Notes

• Add grated parmesan during the last 10 minutes for extra crispiness.
• Use smoked paprika for a deeper flavor.
• Pairs perfectly with steak, chicken, or as a party appetizer.
